Tasering is harsh and extremely painful. In each of the above cases, tasering constituted "cruel and unusual punishment." Tasering is a form of "pain compliance", which is just a euphemism for torture. Tasering has killed people. In each case, police claimed they tasered these kids for their own good. This is all too reminiscent of the army officer during Vietnam who claimed that it was necessary to destroy a village in order to save it. The word "village" got me thinking. Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton (1) wrote a bestselling book titled "It Takes a Village to Raise a Child." Hillary and her husband, Kim Jong-Bill, had very interesting ideas about how children - not Chelsea, but less privileged children -- ought to be raised. (2) Consider the 20-plus innocent children who were incinerated at Waco. Consider the machine gun pointed at little Elian Gonzalez. (12/05/07)
